The Eighth Sense: The Series

I don't remember the last time I wrote a review on imdb, if ever, but I loved this series so much that I wanted to leave some praise for it. When I first saw the trailer, I thought the cinematography looked beautiful and I liked that there was surfing involved, but I also expected a certain degree of... reservedness (is that a word? Maybe just "reservation"?) that seems common in kdramas. Which I realize is a cultural difference, so I'm not criticizing, but I loved The Eighth Sense for how visceral it is. There are tight closeups to let us see every flicker of a characters eyes, there's handheld camera work so we feel like we're walking the streets of Seoul beside them, there are awkward silences, there's sexual tension so thick it makes the audience a little nervous and fluttery. The characters feel fully-inhabited, and the music!! So many really fantastic uses of music, most of which I hadn't heard before.

Overall, I think this is an incredible series, and highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in romance and/or coming of age stories.

Such incredible story that speaks to many young adults going through so many things at their college years and still trying to overcome their problems on their own. The characters are really perfect to portrait how going to therapy, taking proper madication and having people who loves you having your back are the way to fight depression.

It's a really important project since south korea are so closed when it comes to discussions about mental health and lgbtq+ representation but the producers managed to open this discussion in this project in such delicate way that I had many tears even when I listened to the songs being played during the episodes.

One of the best corean BLs made till the moment. With an amazing work and love behind. Not scare to talk about controversial topics. Uses lights an escenography in one of the best ways I never seen, when only eyes and lights are used and you feel everything wothout words you know is a masterpice.

Also sau, that It is addictive since episode one, only to be getting better and better. Not for semsitive people. This is definetly not a comedy but more a painful true and amazong drama.

Thanks for the hard work and delivering such greate and long bl. And for giving us 2 characters that I would necer forget.

It's not a perfect series, but they really tried. What I didn't like it was the sequence sometimes felt really off, but the rest was by far way better that most BL series out there. Both main characters were well portrayed. The chemistry was there, the longing, the desire, the doubt, the urge to be together, the sadness, and so on, you can clearly feel that because both actors really did their job and gave what they have.

Lim Ji-Sub surprised me the most; what a beautiful gem they got while casting him. The "micro" expressions you can see thanks to the careful angles they director decided to film him, that's from another world. The way that man can change his sad and empty expression by just a tiny hint of a smile, it's definitely not something lot of actors out there can pull off. I hope we can see him in more projects in the future.

Oh Jun Taek. Another great discover. If I'm not mistaken, his first role and he was castead out the streets. Regardless, he delivered and showed that you don't really need that much experience to give such a warm, beautiful and natural performance, which it's not that common in the BL industry, where most actors seems to be waiting constantly to say their lines in the most lame way and go home.

Should all BL's stories be like "The Eighth Sense"? Definitely, no.

But I hope, in terms of production, quality and performance, other productions could improve and deliver better series since the BL industry is growing more and more.

After finishing the series, you can clearly see that the production didn't "just wanted to ride the BL train trend"; they actually wanted to tell a story. Took care of details, and make the most out of their cast and resources.

Let's stay tuned for what other projects the actors & directors have for us in the future.

One of the bestest bl ever!! Deserves more success and recognition. Just go and watch it rn guys! You'll thank me later. The actors nailed it!! Their chemistry>>>>>>>>>> I am so down for them. A Great story, with breathtaking cinematography and the music guys, so beautiful perfect!! My words won't ever do justice to how beautiful this series was. I sincerely thank the director and writer for bringing this beautiful masterpiece to us. In short this bl is so precious to me aka this series is engraved in my heart!! You won't ever regret watching it. Looking forward to see more projects from them.
